selected for this initiative. Terry Connelly is also championing
this effort.
4. Professional MBA Program: GGU will add a third format to
its MBA curriculum, fitting between the Executive MBA and
the traditional open-menu MBA. This program is being championed by Paul Fouts, professor and MBA program director.
5. International Recruitment of Student Ambassadors: Current students and new alumni who return to their home countries
will organize and attend events to network and meet with potential new
students. They bring knowledge of the
culture, language and direct experience at
Golden Gate University. The champion
of this initiative is Lou Riccardi, our
director of enrollment services.
6. Scholarships for Degree-Completers: In an effort to provide an
incentive for students who have “stopped out” of GGU and to
maximize our new Path-to-Completion program, students will
receive a scholarship to assist in the completion of their degree
if they are in good standing academically. Championing this
initiative is Cherron Hoppes, dean of undergraduate programs.
The New Horizons 20/20 Leadership initiative is already
having an impact on Golden Gate University. In the coming
year, our group will be expanded to explore new markets that
need to be served with new and innovative programs on a
longer time table. Twenty new people will be added to the current leadership team. We will be developing a five-year plan for
university service, growth and vitality.
To continue to achieve our goals and ensure our institutional
vision is 20/20, GGU’s financial supporters are more critical than
ever. Our heartfelt thanks goes to all our donors —
especially the ones in our 2006–2007 Honor Roll of Donors,
which begins on p. 33. Thank you for enabling our vision.
six occasions to discuss emerging needs and how the university
could respond quickly.
After great discussion, dialogue and analysis, a consensus
emerged that six new initiatives would be undertaken during
the coming year:
1. Improvement of the GGU Website Experience: This involves
assessment of the current website design and content, review of
our key business and governance processes, and assessing our
overall core competence in creating and managing our website.
The technical follow-through will be initiated in January 2008.
This project is championed by Anthony Hill, our chief technology officer.
2. Corporate Partnerships: This fall, a new director of corporate
partnerships, Deidre Robinson, will bolster GGU resources and
deepen our relationships with employers throughout Northern
California. This new initiative is championed by Terry Connelly,
the dean of the Edward S. Ageno School of Business.
3. Vertical Marketing of MS Degrees: This spring, GGU will initiate a vertical marketing strategy at the MS degree level. Our
goal is to develop a comprehensive effort to increase visibility
in a particular profession or industry modeled after our MS tax
degree program. Our target is to increase our national and
regional online enrollment market to a well-defined audience.

Everything’s Coming up Roseville
GGU has relocated its Sacramento teaching site to
neighboring Roseville, Calif. GGU will be moving in
to a 50,000-square-foot facility owned by Heald
College, which has been in Roseville since 1986.
“The facility is light, bright and open, with parking and easy freeway access,” says Barbara Karlin
(LLM 81), vice president of academic affairs.
“What’s more, we are hoping to develop a relationship with Heald College that will provide real synergies for both GGU and Heald. Because Heald is a
two-year school, we hope to be the school of choice
for those Heald graduates who seek to continue
with their education and earn a four-year degree.”
GGU will have several dedicated classrooms
and offices in the building at 7 Sierra Gate Plaza,
which is on the north side of Interstate 80, east of
the Douglas exit.
The city of Roseville is part of a growing metropolitan area that is home to an increasing number
of major employers, including Hewlett-Packard and
Kaiser Permanente. The area is expected to experience an 8 percent growth rate between 2005 and
2010, Karlin says, adding that there is a large population of potential degree-completers and graduate students in the area.
And if that’s not enough, Jim Gray, the mayor of
Roseville, is a GGU alumnus, having earned a master’s of public administration degree in 1977.

Undergrads Find Gateway to Success
A new class giving undergraduate students a blueprint for success that helps them
define personal, academic and professional goals was unveiled for the fall 2007
term. Called “Gateway to Success,” the class will introduce students to professional-practice education at GGU and assist them in setting measurable goals
and earning their degrees in the quickest time possible.
“It’s about coaching and facilitating; this isn’t a lecture course at all,” said
Cherron Hoppes, GGU’s dean of undergraduate programs. “It’s a roll-up-yoursleeves-and-understand-your-goals-and-objectives class, geared to the adult nontraditional student. This is about high-level skill development.”
Students will be introduced to the university’s support services, resources,
library, tutoring services, advising and other career services. It will also guide students in development of a portfolio of their work and full academic plan.
The eight-week course will be offered in San Francisco and Walnut Creek, and
online through CyberCampus. It is required for all first-term undergraduates in
the first year of GGU’s bachelor’s degree programs in accounting, business
administration, management and information technology.
In the Gateway course, students will create an individualized professionaldevelopment plan and engage in experiential learning focused on networking and
industry research.
“The idea is that the course will introduce skills and the practice of skills, and
as [students] move along [in their degree program], they’ll continue to refine
that,” said Walt Stevenson, director of GGU’s bachelor’s degree programs in
business administration and management.
“The class will help students understand the many facets of career development, such as collecting solid research on their fields and companies of interest,
as well as assessing their personal values and using them to make an informed
choice when selecting a place to work,” Hoppes said. —Carl Holcombe

The
Centennial
Wall
The Centennial Wall is a tribute
to those who have had a significant financial impact on
the university since its opening.
It will feature the names of those who have
given $100,000 or more to the university from 1901 through
the end of The Centennial Campaign for GGU on June 30, 2008.
The Centennial Wall is a commemoration and an inspiration
honoring those who have given in the past and inspiring
those who will give in the future.
It will have a prominent and permanent position
in the lobby of the university’s main building at 536 Mission St.
The Centennial Wall is a one-time opportunity
to be a part of this historic moment
in the life of Golden Gate University.

Thanks to The Centennial Campaign, GGU’s Master Plan moves forward
T
he expansion and renovation of 40 Jessie St. (the former warehouse, ship-boiler
factory and printing company previously
known as the Swallow Building) is less than
one year from completion. Construction
began in July 2006 following several years
of planning, design and city approvals.
Since then, we’ve completed the demolition

safety and plumbing systems.
The 40 Jessie St. expansion and
renovation project is Phase 4B of a
9-phase Master Plan for GGU’s
downtown San Francisco campus.
The first three phases were completed in 2002 at a total project
cost of $17.5 million. Those phases
included the construction of a
mechanical-system silo and the
complete renovation of classrooms
and lectures halls on the second and
third floors of the west wing at
536 Mission St.
Phase 4 has been split into three
components. In Phase 4A, GGU completely renovated the basement level of the
school-of-law library, including the installation of compact shelving to increase
book-storage capacity within the same
amount of physical space. This phase was
completed in 2006 for a total project cost
of $1.9 million.
Phase 4C was completed in 2006 for
a total project cost of $2.4 million. In
10
this project, GGU completely renovated
the east-wing basement level of 536
Mission St. to upgrade mechanical systems and make more efficient use of the
space to accommodate the offices of
business services and facilities, enterprise
technology services and the student government association.
Phase 4B is the 40 Jessie St. project.
With a total project budget of $20.5 million, this phase will add two levels
and completely renovate the original
building to create the new Student
Services Center and provide space
for administrative offices. The completed project will house the university bookstore, student lounge, café,
and a “one-stop shop” for student
services such as admissions, career
and personal counseling, financial
aid, cashier, registration and records,
and student life.
The project is on schedule and on
budget. The first move will occur in
February 2008, when the bookstore
relocates into the first level from 62
First St. By April, the remaining student-support services will be moved
in, not only to make use of the new
building, but also to make way for
the expansion of the law library at
536 Mission St. The expansion of the law
library is Phase 5 and is scheduled to be
completed in fiscal year 2009 for a total
project budget of $4 million.
The air around GGU’s San Francisco
campus is thick with the dust, sounds and
smells of several construction projects that
will soon reshape the San Francisco skyline. It’s nice to know that GGU is kicking
up a bit of dust of its own. —Jeffrey V. Bialik

POD PEOPLE
In the second installment of our series on new-media marketing tools,
our expert explores podcasts and Web feeds
by Blodwen Tarter
Hear Me
Virtually any audio or video content,
such as radio shows and videos, interviews and audio/video blogs, can be
distributed as podcasts over the
Internet and then downloaded to a
personal computer or an MP3 player.
One can listen to or view podcasts
on an ad hoc basis or subscribe to a
series. Initially, most podcasts were
audio files, but with the increasing
availability of large bandwidth, video
is now a practical option.
Podcasts can be used to enhance
online communications, and to share
events, interviews and speeches. Does
your company have a regular usergroup conference? Record the talks
and post them as podcasts for your
customers who cannot attend. Enhance your product information and

In the summer 2007 issue of ggu,
“To Blog or Not to Blog” focused on
one of the hottest components of
“new new media”: the ever-popular
blog. This time, in the second part of
our two-part series, we turn to audio
and video, rather than written, content.
“Podcast” is the generic term used to
describe audio and video files available
online and is, allegedly, derived from a
combination of “iPod” and “broadcast.” Generally, podcasts are not
real-time, but are prerecorded. They
range from only seconds to hours long.
Listeners then use “Web feeds” to
receive the content at the time and
place of their choice.
ken and visual component. Podcasts provide both educational value
and marketing opportunities.
Imagine the many ways in which one can use the spoken word or
music and visuals to enhance one’s marketing message. Radio and television have long been important media for delivering both general
advertising and direct-response marketing communications. Podcasts
add another way of reaching customers and prospective customers. A
crucial aspect is that listeners and viewers voluntarily opt to receive
the message. Arguably, this means they are more interested, seeking
out the content created by the podcaster.
For instance, if one’s product is based on sound — such as music
or spoken lectures — a podcast can provide a sample of the product
or deliver the actual product. Likewise, with visual communications,
people who like the sample can then elect to consume more of the
product. Movie trailers are such an example. Sound and visuals can be
used as alternatives to, or in addition to, the written word so the marketer can reinforce each form of communication with the other.
In May 2006, Harvard Business School Publishing began adding
free podcasts to its website. Featuring authors of notable business
books and articles, “Ideacasts” allow the interested listener to hear
about the current topics from the authors themselves and create further interest in Harvard Business School’s print publications.
The website of Jessica Williams, an extraordinary jazz pianist,
includes podcasts of interviews with the musician, as well as audio
samples of her music. These are ideal promotions for the direct sale
of her music CDs via her secure website. Sample the sounds and, if
you like what you hear, you can step up to the full suite of her compositions and performances.
Golden Gate University includes audio and video components in
many of its CyberCampus courses, enhancing the online learning
experience. This approach supports a variety of learning styles. Some
of us are audio learners (we prefer to hear), while others are kinesthetic (doers) or visual learners, who like to read or see. Listening to
discussions and lectures helps some of us understand and retain
information more effectively, while videos can show examples or
present cases for discussion.
For other examples of the wide range of podcasts available, visit
http://podcast.com/home.php, which includes a directory of podcasts. There is, of course, a “welcome” podcast that introduces the site
itself. Other podcast sites of interest include podcastalley.com and
podcast.net.
Based on a survey conducted in August 2006, the Pew Internet &
American Life Project reported that “12 percent of Internet users say
they have downloaded a podcast so they can listen to it … at a later
time.” This is an increase from 7 percent (based on a similar survey
conducted in February–April 2006), which indicates a steady rise in
podcast listeners. Other studies produce different estimates, but all
concur that the adoption of podcasts is increasing and count listen-
ers in the millions. Some speculate that the growing use of iPods and
MP3 players will further fuel interest in podcasts.
Make Me
How difficult is it to create a podcast? You need a message, a way to
record and upload the message, and a website to which the message
file can be uploaded for listener/viewer access. The technical aspects
of recording and distribution are relatively simple, and a number of
easy-to-use tools are available for little or no cost. With a microphone
for your personal computer and easily available software (such as
Audacity), you make your recording. Once recorded, the file is
uploaded with an RSS (Really Simple Syndication) file to a server
from which users can access the podcast.
Sound complicated? Then try one of the many services that claim
you don’t need any technical expertise at all. The hardest part will

Live
and
Let Thrive
Alumnus of the Year Bernard Tyson brings passion to
everything he does, from helping run Kaiser Permanente,
to cooking for his kids, to making sure we all eat our
fruits and vegetables by Daniel Nevers • Photos by Kent Taylor
I
n the fall of 2006, Bernard J. Tyson
(BS 82, MBA 85), the man who launched
Kaiser Permanente’s enormously successful
“Thrive” advertising campaign, was anything
but thriving. He had suffered a massive heart
attack, and for the first time in his career, he
was sidelined.
“I almost died,” he recalls. “It really makes
you think about life differently. When I was
sick, I felt so much love from thousands of
people across the organization. You work all
your life to give, and then all these people …”
he stops, getting emotional. “I finally understood the beauty of receiving.”
True to form, Tyson wasn’t down for
long. He returned to his job three months
after surgery. His love of what he does and
14
[ fall 2007 ]
[ ggu ]
his belief in Kaiser make him that rarest of
breeds in today’s corporate world: Tyson has
worked for the nonprofit health organization
his entire career.
He started at the company more than two
decades ago as an intern during his final
semester at GGU. Today, he is one of a
handful at the top of the organizational
chart, serving as executive vice president of
health-plan and hospital operations for
Kaiser Foundation Health Plan Inc. and
Kaiser Foundation Hospitals. Headquartered in Oakland, Kaiser is the nation’s
largest HMO, with 8.7 million members
enrolled in 16 states and the District of
Columbia. It operates 30 medical centers and
more than 400 medical offices, and it
15
employs roughly 12,000 physicians. Because
of the company’s size and scope, Tyson says,
he has never lacked for new challenges.
“It’s been 23 years, but I’ve been in multiple roles,” he says. “I have worked for all parts
of the organization — at the medical-center
level, at the regional level, at the national
level. And the three entities that make up
Kaiser Permanente — the Kaiser Foundation
Health Plan, where we insure people; the
Kaiser Foundation Hospitals, where we own
hospitals and run services; and the Kaiser
Permanente Medical Groups, which is the
physician side of the organization — I’m one
of the few executives who has worked for all
three at least once.”
From a young age, Tyson knew he wanted
to be in the health-care industry. He came to
GGU straight out of high school to get his
bachelor’s degree in health-services management. He took a semester off before returning to earn an MBA in health-services
administration. Though he wasn’t the typical
GGU student, Tyson knew it was the right
place for him.
“The feedback I kept getting about GGU
was it was going to be challenging for me
because I was coming directly out of high
school, but if I absolutely knew what I wanted,
and I was willing to deal with the fact that I
would be going to school with professionals
and businesspeople, the benefits would be terrific,” he says. “In addition to learning in the
classroom, you also learn from other people. I
had a ready-made network of people who
16
were already in the field. The insights they
were able to bring to class were just incredible.
And the fact that I had a teacher who was also
a CEO of a hospital, which was what I wanted
to be — I just admired him so much.”
Tyson, too, eventually got to run a hospital, though it didn’t last long. “It’s funny, in
my career at Kaiser Permanente, I finally got
promoted to hospital administrator in 1992
in Santa Rosa [Calif.],” he says. “I was technically in the job less than a year, and then
they moved me into a regional role to help
reorganize Northern California. That was
when I started up the health-plan track. It
was really that process that exposed me to the
broader workings of Kaiser. Never in my
wildest imagination did I think I’d be doing
what I’m doing today.”
A large part of his current job is working
one-on-one with the eight regional presidents
who report to him. “I spend a lot of time
mentoring my leaders, making sure we have the
right people in the right roles to accomplish
the right results,” he says. Additionally, he
oversees Kaiser’s $40 billion capital plan,
which includes the planning and construction
of new medical centers, as well as an innovative $3 billion electronic medical-records program called KPConnect. And he sits on several
national leadership groups, which help to govern the organization’s policies system-wide.
“I consider a large part of my job to be
maintaining relationships both inside and
outside the organization,” Tyson says. “Even
though we have a lot of technology, in the
[ fall 2007 ]
organization and in society, the human touch
is still important. I spend a lot of time communicating, in person, on the phone.” All of
it, he says, so Kaiser can ensure it is doing the
best it can by its members.
“At the end of the day, that’s what I’m here
for. What’s unique and beautiful about our
model is I don’t have to come here worrying
about making a profit for our shareholders,”
Tyson says. Because Kaiser is a nonprofit
organization, any profits are reinvested, mainly
into two categories: the capital plan and the
community-benefits program, which subsidizes care for the under- and uninsured, funds
more than 2,500 research-related programs at
any given time, and even helps provide fresh
produce via Kaiser-sponsored farmers’ markets in communities nationwide.
It’s this kind of innovative thinking, Tyson
believes, that makes Kaiser a model that should
be studied for what the health-care industry
can be. “We built this organization, not on a
sick-care model, but on a preventive model,” he
says. “It’s a way of organizing care that is effective, efficient and of very high quality.
“The industry is very fragmented,” he continues. “We have figured out, over the course
of 60 years, how to bring the health-plan side
in partnership with the medical-group side
and the hospital side. And we have a lot of
other partnerships — with the pharmacy side,
the lab side, the radiology side, you name it.”
Tyson’s passion is not reserved for his
career. He is father to three boys — Bernard
Jr., 15; Alexander, 14; and Charles, 5 — who
are his pride and joy. He excuses himself to
take a call on his cell phone confirming reservations for Family Lobster Night at a local
club, made at the request of his youngest son.
“Can you believe that? Five years old, and he
wants to go to lobster night,” Tyson laughs.
Charles’ sophisticated palate is no surprise
given his father’s love of cooking. Tyson
describes in detail the dinner he prepared the
night before: rack of lamb with garlic, rosemary, thyme and two kinds of peppers, topped
with red potatoes and portobello mushrooms.
“Cooking and eating together is an important
time for me. It’s a time of communication, a
time of discussion and fun,” he says.
Tyson is also involved with several community and leadership organizations, including the San Francisco chapter of the United
Negro College Fund; the National Quality
Forum, an organization he co-chairs that aims
to better define and make more available highquality health care in the United States; and
the Executive Leadership Council, a network
of African-American executives from Fortune
500 companies that provides mentoring and
scholarships. In 2005, he was named one of
the 10 most influential African-Americans in
the Bay Area by City Flight Media, and in
2001, the NAACP awarded him the Freedom
Fund Award for “sensitizing corporate
America to the talents of people of color.”
“I’m an incredibly blessed person,” Tyson
says. “Like everybody else, I have headaches
and challenges and my share of problems, but
they don’t compare in any way to the positive
Tyson knows he’ll be remembered for “Thrive.”
That’s OK with him. In fact, he says, it’s not just
a slogan for him anymore, but a way of life.
side. So I feel obligated to do more and, in particular, to do more to help others do more.”
As for being named GGU’s Alumnus of
the Year, Tyson can’t believe it: “A respected,
respectable institution from which thousands
of people have graduated and gone on to
become productive citizens in all walks of
life, and this institution selects me? It’s not
only humbling, I can’t believe there aren’t a
thousand other Bernards out there they could
have chosen. I’m really grateful.”
Indeed, Tyson is grateful for much these
days. He’s back to good health, and he’s more
excited than ever about his career, maybe even
enough to keep at it for another 23 years. “I
like to say the beauty of being here is a perfect marriage of me wanting to be here and
them wanting to have me,” he says. “I enjoy
what I do, and I enjoy the people I work with.
I guess if I started to dislike everyone and lose
the eye of the tiger, then I would hang it up.”
And that ubiquitous “Thrive” campaign?
How did Tyson, the administrator, wind up in
charge of the organization’s marketing strategy?
“When the CEO first approached me [about
it], I think I said something like, ‘Are you nuts?’
He was new to Kaiser. I went on to explain to
him that I run things, I’m an operations person,
I make stuff happen. He said, ‘Good, I want
you to make the brand happen,’”Tyson recalls.
[ ggu ]
“There’s no way I can take all the credit,
because it was a team of us. But what he said
was, ‘You will hire a smart ad agency, and you
will have smart people around you who
understand the marketing stuff. What you
will add is that you understand the organization. You understand what we are and what
we aspire to be, and you will know it when
you see it.’ And he was absolutely right.”
Even though he has spent the majority of
his career building hospitals and establishing
regions — doing the “tough stuff ” —
Tyson knows he’ll be remembered for
“Thrive.” That’s OK with him. In fact, he
says, it’s not just a slogan for him anymore,
but a way of life.
“When I think about health, and I think
about what I’ve been through in my own personal journey, ‘Thrive’ speaks to how something can happen to your body and you can
return to good health and become a productive citizen,” he says. “I’m helping to run a
$40 billion company and not missing a beat;
I’m raising three wonderful boys, which is a
full-time job in itself; I’m involved in my
church community; I have a passion for
addressing the health care–disparities dilemma
in this country. Because I am thriving — I
am mentally and physically healthy — I’m
able to be more productive.” ggu

Alumni
Awardees
2007
T
Riley’s wife, Irene, also spent her career at BofA, and though they
worked in the same department early in their careers, it wasn’t until years
later that they began dating. The couple has been married for almost two
decades. Explaining how they managed to live and work together, Dan
Riley says: “Our careers didn’t really overlap much. We didn’t commute
to work together. The one meal of the day we had together was usually
dinner, and we always talked about other things when we got home.”
For the past two years, Riley has served on GGU’s board of
trustees. “GGU has offerings that were very good for me, and with
what’s going on in the business world, I think it’s good for the community,” he says. “GGU is working to get some turnaround stuff
done — it’s rewarding and interesting to see that in place, and to be
as helpful as I possibly can. If I’m going to spend my time on something, this is one of the things I think is important.”
In their retirement, the Rileys like to spend time at their place in
the Sonoma wine country, as well as traveling when they can. Irene
sits on the San Francisco Housing Authority Commission and volunteers for Wu Yee Children’s Services and the Angel Island
Immigration Station Foundation, while Dan is an avid golfer.
“We’re very happy to be recognized,” Riley says. “There are a lot
of people who do a lot of good things for GGU. We’re pleased to
have the time and resources.”
by Daniel Nevers
ime and again, each of this year’s Alumni Award recipients said they owe their success to GGU. Most of them
stressed the practical value of their hands-on education
for giving them a step up. For all they have done and for everything
yet to come, we salute them. Meet this year’s alumni awardees:
Fiona Ma
Amicus Award
Daniel P. (MBA 81) & Irene Riley
Given to those whose efforts have resulted in significant contributions to the
university’s resources and, thereby, to its educational capabilities and services.
In many ways, Dan Riley is a perfect example of the GGU story.
While slowly working his way up through the ranks at Bank of
America (BofA), the native San Franciscan attended classes at
night while he worked during the day. It was never easy balancing
work and school, he says, but like so many GGU students, he kept
at it until he finally had his degree in hand.
Slow and steady describes Riley’s career, as well. Now retired, he
spent more than 30 years at BofA. “I started as a coin-wrapper in the
vault, and I ended up, 33 years later, managing hundreds of people,”
says the former president of global treasury services. “From point A
to point Z, there were a lot of good things that happened to me.
I advanced further than I expected when I started with the company.”
Community Service Award
Fiona Ma, MS 93
Given in recognition of outstanding leadership and service contributions to the community.
Since being elected to the California State Assembly in November
2006, Fiona Ma has wasted little time getting to know her way
around Sacramento. In December, Assembly Speaker Fabian Nuñez
appointed her majority whip, making Ma the highest-ranking Asian-
American woman in the California Legislature. She’s currently
shepherding 17 bills through the Senate.
“It’s very difficult to get a bill signed into law,” she says. “It’s been
the biggest surprise. We don’t know how many are going to make it,
which ones will get held hostage, which ones will get amended. It’s a
complicated process.”
Still, Ma finds she prefers the wheeling and dealing of
Sacramento to the down-and-dirty politics she encountered in her
four years on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. She and her
fellow assemblymembers joke that “being in Sacramento is more like
swimming with dolphins. There’s more [of a sense of] institution at
the state level and really trying to keep the civility and honor in this
job” than you see at the local level, she says.
Ma didn’t always know she was bound for public life. When she
graduated from GGU with a degree in taxation, she thought she
might someday be a partner at major accounting firm. Early on, however, she could see the glass ceiling — “I didn’t actually hit it, but I
could see it from afar” — so she started her own practice with a colleague. As part of some small business associations, she began to
lobby local and state governments and became interested in politics.
“At that point, I saw how elected officials had the power to make
an impact directly,” Ma says. “I got intrigued with the amount of what
politicians could actually do.” She learned that Sen. John Burton was
hiring, so she applied and worked part time with him for seven years.
“I feel like this is my calling, so I wouldn’t change it for anything,”
Ma says. “You have to adapt, obviously. I don’t get to see my family
and friends much. This is definitely not a 9-to-5 job. But I love it.”
As for her award, Ma says: “I’m very honored to be recognized
for my contributions to the community. I will proudly display my
award in my office in Sacramento next to my degree.”

[ fall 2007 ]
Curtis Burr
Bernhardt, Rileys: Kent Taylor
Given to a GGU faculty or staff member in recognition of exemplary leadership and service.
Dan & Irene Riley
The Law School owes a debt of thanks to Roger Bernhardt’s beard:
Without it, he may have been snatched up by a law firm upon his arrival
in San Francisco at age 26. With it, he had no choice but to teach.
“No lawyer in San Francisco in 1960 had a beard,” Bernhardt
recalls. “When I left teaching [at GGU] in 1964 to go into practice,
I still had the beard. But I finessed it by opening a solo practice.” In
1969, then–Law School Dean Lani Bader asked Bernhardt to come
back to GGU, and he’s been teaching ever since.
“Some people are natural teachers. I was a decent lawyer, but I’m a
good teacher. While I don’t dislike arguing cases, it’s not half as interesting as talking to students in class,” he says. “I like debating interesting issues, and this gives me that opportunity.”
Both Bernhardt’s practice and teaching have focused largely on
property law, an area into which he readily admits he stumbled. “I set
[ ggu ]
19
[ alumnews ]
out to become a criminal lawyer, but I got assigned a property case. I
didn’t have any idea what it was, but I’ve come to love it,” he says.
“The property matters tantalized my mind, and they still do. People
are constantly finding new things to do with property — ways to deal
with it, create it, divide it up, argue about it.” He has written numerous books on mortgage and property law, including two widely used
textbooks, Real Property in a Nutshell and The Black Letter Law of Real
Property. He is also editor of the Real Property Law Reporter, a publication
put out by Continuing Education of the Bar California, and he
arranges his own continuing-education programs, regularly bringing
alumni and others together to hear experts he personally invites from
the real-estate community to speak at the Law School.
Bernhardt owes more than just his career to GGU. He met his wife,
Christine Tour-Sarkissian (JD 85, LLM 04), here more than 25 years
ago. The couple has been married for 17 years, and she also teaches at
GGU as an adjunct professor in the Law School. “She does what I
talk about. I find out the way the real world is from her,” he says.
“She’s the litigator who works seven days a week; I do the shopping
and cooking.” Then, he adds, “But she doesn’t make me do the floors.”
On the subject of his award, Bernhardt has just one thought: “I
hope they’re not trying to tell me it’s time for me to leave!”
Rising Star Award
Lisa Farmen, MBA 01
Given to a recent graduate (10 or fewer years) who exhibits extraordinary professional
achievements and contributions to the community.
For Lisa Farmen, it’s not whether the glass is half full or half empty
that matters, but whether the water inside the glass is clean.
After cutting her teeth as a chemical engineer in the semiconductor
industry, she yearned to put her technical skill to more meaningful use.
Encouraged by a family friend, she enrolled in GGU’s Executive MBA
program, with hopes of one day running her own business.
Ten days after graduation, however, she had to quit her job and
move to Oregon to deal with a family crisis. It wasn’t quite the start
to her new life she’d imagined. Still, Farmen made the most of it. “I
was sitting around with a lot of time on my hands,” she recalls, so she
began plotting out the details of just what kind of company to start.
Today, that company, Crystal Clear Technologies (CCT), is at the
forefront of developing a low-cost nanocoated filter medium that will
remove chemical and biological contaminants from the world’s drinkingwater supply. By 2015, two-thirds of the world’s population won’t have
a reliable source of drinking water, Farmen says. “It’s the supply–demand
problem of the 21st century.”
CCT has received seed-funding grants from the National Science
Foundation’s (NSF) Small Business Innovative Research Program and
the Oregon Nanoscience and Microtechnologies Institute. The company has been subcontracted to provide bladder packs to the US
Army and Marine Corps that use low-cost, readily available organic
20
compounds to clean contaminated water without electricity. These
efforts to commercialize its technology, along with additional outside
investment, will ensure further funding from the NSF, Farmen says.
“A friend sent me a picture of a woman holding a baby with a jug
on her head,” Farmen says. “She wrote me a note across it that says, ‘Do
it for her and the millions like her.’ The day we get [our product] into
the hands of a woman in Africa with a family is the day I get paid back.
“Without question, taking the MBA and international business
classes opened my eyes,” Farmen continues. “GGU gave me the confidence to tackle a global business. I’m so grateful for everything
I learned and, to be recognized on top of it, I’m beyond words.”
Volunteer of the Year Award
Curtis Burr, BA 74, MBA 76
Given to a person who shows exceptional service to the university through volunteer activities.
By his own account, Curtis Burr is a practical guy. So when it came
time to choose a career path after getting out of the Army, he turned
to the want-ads. “I thought I wanted to go into political science. But
it was 1972 — it was kind of a recessionary period — and I saw a
guy on the news with a poli-sci degree who was delivering papers,” he
recalls. “I thought, ‘I’m not doing that again.’”
Noticing the many accounting jobs available, Burr talked to a counselor who told him to attend GGU if he wanted practical experience.
“I thought, ‘Yes, I want practical experience. I want a job!’” Burr says.
He attended GGU year-round on the GI Bill until he had earned both
his bachelor’s degree in accounting and an MBA in taxation.
Burr is one of the founding partners and principals in the accounting-consulting firm of Burr, Pilger and Mayer LLP, based in San
Francisco. After 20 years, the firm now boasts 30 partners and 270
employees. Commenting on its success, Burr says: “I’m not sure we
ever thought that far down the road. Our first five years, the goal was
to stay in business. The next five years, it was to grow to 50 people.
Then that wasn’t quite big enough. It just sort of grew.”
Burr also gives back to the community as a volunteer and by serving
on various boards, working with the San Francisco Food Bank, the Rotary
Club of San Francisco, and the Boys and Girls Clubs. He has been active
on GGU’s own board of trustees since 2001, serving as board chair from
2003–2007, sitting on advisory committees for the tax and accounting
schools, and fund-raising for The Centennial Campaign for GGU.
“Giving time and money is just something people should do, being
part of a community, especially if you make a good living. You have a
responsibility,” Burr says. “Besides, I have found through my involvement in the university, you get more from it than you can ever give.
The people you meet, who you get to know — it’s a great institution.
“It’s really cool I get this award. I’m tickled by it.” He is especially
excited to bring his 10-year-old daughter, Rachele, to the awards luncheon. “My wife and I are trying to teach her about giving back, having
her understand there’s more [to life] than just working,” he says. ggu

No Mountain High Enough
There were no high-school photos or commemorative tunes from the ’70s playing atop
19,340-foot Mt. Kilimanjaro when Jeannine English (MBA 82) arrived to celebrate her
milestone 50th birthday (that’s her, pictured right, with a friend). An avid runner and
cyclist, English has also biked 72 miles around Lake Tahoe — twice.
Since earning her MBA in management at GGU, English’s career as a lobbyist and policy-maker has also scaled
the heights. “My MBA from GGU taught
me the value and discipline of applying a
logical thought process to analyzing programs, services and needs for policymaking and reform,” English says.
As director for the Little Hoover
Commission for 10 years, English examined ways to make state government
more effective to meet the needs of
California citizens. Among other positions, the mother of four sons also served as assistant
executive director of the California Transportation Commission, and has her own consulting
firm, Jeannine English & Associates. Named to the Board of Governors of the California
State Bar Association last year by Assembly Speaker Fabian Nuñez, English also accepted
an appointment in July to serve as state president for the AARP in California. It seems

as president from 1988–1990.
Too many people forget about what’s going to happen after they die, and they leave
those decisions to other people or the state. There aren’t any U-Hauls or moving vans
behind the hearses at any funerals I attend. You can’t take it with you. That’s why we’re
members of Golden Gate’s Bridge Society. I attended GGU, the University of Mississippi
and Rhodes College in Memphis, Tenn. We have included all of them in our estate plan.
I went to Golden Gate while working at Genstar, a building-materials manufacturer
headquartered in San Francisco. As part of a management-development program, I
took a series of tests that resulted in the recommendation that I pursue an MBA.
Other local universities didn’t have “outpatient programs,” so to speak, and GGU also
offered more of what I was looking for than other schools. I was very interested in who
was teaching the classes, and Golden Gate professors were more hands-on.
I was part of the first off-site Executive MBA program — we were the guinea pigs.
We took classes in a hotel in San Mateo, Calif., attending classes all day Friday and
Saturday for about two years. I was traveling a lot, and my wife and I had two children,
so I generally did my homework from midnight–4 am. It was a lot of work, but I find
if you plan ahead and fit everything into a system, it all works very well.
Really, it’s all about planning ahead. Most people don’t plan for anything that will
happen after they die. Something could happen to you tomorrow, and if you don’t
make the decisions yourself, others — the state, probate court, etc. — will decide what
happens to your estate instead of you. I have planned ahead to help build the financial
growth of Golden Gate University.

“An up-to-date estate plan is the finest gift you can give your loved ones,” says John E. O’Grady
(JD 86, LLM 93), an estate-planning attorney and the newest Bridge Society member.
The Bridge Society recognizes individuals who, by including the university in
their estate plans, have made an investment in the vision and the future of GGU.
A bequest or life-income trust to benefit
the university is a commitment to education for future generations — a plan
today for an investment in tomorrow.
GGU’s Office of University Advancement
is available to provide confidential assistance to aid alumni and friends in shaping
an enduring legacy tailored to their needs.

How to Gift
Back to GGU
How was your education paid for? Did
others help you with a scholarship funded by
alumni? The GI Bill? Subsidy from your employer,
friends or family?
Won’t you reach out to help educate up-andcoming generations? It’s hard to imagine a charitable gift that has a more far-reaching, positive effect
than an investment in education. There are so many
ways to give — and make a real difference.
Annual Gifts
Consider being an annual giver, and help close the
gap between tuition and the actual cost of educating students. Use a check or credit card to make
your monthly, quarterly or annual gift to the
President’s Fund. Make your check out to GGU, or
call to make a gift by credit card.
Recurring Gifts
Monthly gifts charged to your credit card or
electronically transferred from your bank account
provide an easy and convenient way to give,
while keeping GGU’s fund-raising cost low.
Matching Gifts
Match your gift through your company. You may be
able to double or triple your gift by including a matching-gift form from your human-resources department
along with your contribution.
Stock Gifts
Save on capital-gains taxes, and make your contribution with stock or mutual-fund shares instead of
cash. If you have appreciated securities worth more
than you paid for them, you gain a charitable deduction for the full fair-market value of the shares and
avoid capital-gains tax. It is simple to do; just call
for instructions.
Bequests
Include Golden Gate in your will or estate plan, and
leave a legacy of education to future generations.
Request information on making gifts of life insurance, retirement-plan benefits, stock, property, cash
or through a charitable trust.
Endowments
Establish a permanent fund in memory or honor
of someone special. An endowed fund can be set
up during your life or through a bequest for a wide
variety of purposes.
You may now give online by credit card at
www.ggu.edu/giving. Questions on how to give? Visit
www.ggu.edu/aboutgiving, call 415-442-7820, or
e-mail [email protected]. Please send contributions to
Elizabeth Brady, vice president of university advancement, Golden Gate University, 536 Mission St.,
San Francisco, CA 94105. 415-442-7820, fax 415882-1660, [email protected].

died July 9. He was 72. A
member of the Bridge and Silver societies,
as well as the Nagel T. Miner Endowed
Scholarship for International Students
Committee, Manahan seldom missed a
GGU event, donating his time, smile and
money to benefit his alma mater. A native
of the Philippines, he ran his own CPA
firm and was an active member of Friends
of the San Francisco Public Library and
many other community organizations.
In addition to leaving a lasting legacy of

his friend Normita Fenn (BA 65, MBA 83)
so eloquently put it, “Manny left a legacy

school at night. He practiced in private firms
until he became in-house counsel for the
California State Automobile Association in
1971; he held that position for 25 years.

mountain of information is by allowing consumers to select what they
want to receive. Web feeds let users subscribe to their choice of
Web content. This method of distribution pulls content
desired by the user, rather than pushing information a company thinks the user should have.
Virtually any kind of content can be distributed this way: headlines with complete
content only a click away, blogs, podcasts,
even ads. This can reduce the concern individual users have about sharing e-mail addresses.
Fear of spam alone may increase the use of Web
feeds and content subscriptions.
Feed-readers and -aggregators automatically update
when new information is available and then present summaries of the new content from the feed. Since one of the
earliest feed formats was RSS, the term RSS is often used
generically, when, technically, other Web feeds exist, such as Atom
and XML. Special buttons or links, often orange, indicate that a feed
is available for the website or blog. Users click on the button and,
thereafter, receive the updates as they become available.
Many people use Web feeds unknowingly when they customize
their home page on Yahoo! or a similar site. However, as the presence
of Web feeds increases on websites, the awareness of the service is
likely to increase. If your company commits to blogs or podcasts, you may consider adding a Web feed for this content.
Your message will be delivered to the subscriber regularly
and increase the visibility of your news and information.
Communicating to prospective consumers in the
ways they wish to receive messages has always been
the goal of marketing professionals. Blogs and
podcasts are just the latest in the “new” new
media. With the continuing evolution of new
communications technology, including new
devices such as portable media players and multifunction mobile phones, as well as changing consumer
preferences and habits, marketing professionals need to continually monitor the many ways in which they can reach their
desired audiences. Blogs and podcasts can be another way of enhancing integrated marketing-communications programs, but only for the
appropriate product and target market. ggu
